A state of emergency in the province due to COVID-19 that has shuttered the storefronts of businesses considered “non-essential” has made it increasingly difficult for business owners to connect with customers.
While the majority of businesses that supply products to the public have adopted online platforms in place of a physical storefront, not everyone has the ability or financial means to access the internet.
In addition to that barrier, Canada Post has adapted its parcel delivery so that any items that require proof of age, identification or customs payments, will be sent directly to a retail post office.
This move potentially affects the ability of some to access this service.
To support local commerce and consumers, Sudbury.com wants to put together a list of all businesses offering curbside pickup.
If you are the owner of a business offering curbside pickup, whether you have been deemed a non-essential business or not, email the details to [email protected].
